Galeon is a web browser for GNOME based on Mozilla's Gecko layout engine. Galeon's developer's self-declared mission was to deliver "the web and only the web".
At the time of Galeon's creation, the most popular web browsers, including Netscape, Mozilla, and Internet Explorer, were large multi-functional programs. This made them slow to start and often impractical due to their high memory usage and processor requirements. Galeon was the first mainstream graphical web browser which specifically focused on the reduction of peripheral functionality.
Galeon's initial development team split in 2002 due to disagreements about the target audience and leading to the creation of the Epiphany web browser, a fork of Galeon. As of 2004 Galeon is still under active development, though other comparable browsers have appeared including Mozilla's own Firefox browser, and the K-Meleon browser available for Microsoft Windows.
